Sheffield United fans on Twitter have been reacting on Monday morning as WWE legend Mick Foley announced that he is now a Blade.
Foley posted a picture of himself in a club shirt on the social media platform with the words “I am officially a Blade,” much to the delight of the fan base.
This came after striker Billy Sharp mimicked the ex-WWE wrestler and current commentator’s famous ‘Mr Socko’ celebration back in January.
It was Sharp who sent the 53-year-old the jersey to parade on Twitter so that fans could officially welcome Foley into the United family.
“Cactus Jack” has previously shown an interest in English football, often appearing on Soccer AM for Sky Sports, but never before pledging allegiance to a certain team.
Supporters of the club currently chasing automatic promotion to the Premier League reacted very positively indeed and were extremely proud of the announcement, repeating “he’s a Blade” and telling him that he’ll forever be one, with one even commenting “this is the best thing ever” in response to the “surreal” news.
